Miscellaneous Tokyo Thoughts

Could you share a source for this? I monitor Japanese Gov announcements pretty closely and have not heard of this.

I know a lot of local attractions and shops are looking at dual pricing for tourists vs. Japanese, but have not heard anything about the Government making any kind of top down policy. The Switch 2 pricing is set by Nintendo, not the Government.

Not doubting you, just curious if there is something lost in translation here.

Foreign tourists to pay more as Japan rolls out dual-pricing system

Aimed at managing over-tourism and boosting revenue, the policy has sparked a fierce debate over fairness and practicality

I’m in Japan right now and it is slammed with tourists. I’ve seen more tourists than I’ve seen Japanese people.

It's been like this for a while, weak yen is probably a huge proponent as to why. I would not be surprised if OLC does eventually do dual pricing. Guess this shareholders report at the end of the month will say what will happen.

Park hopper ticket during the summer has been announced

I did a double take when I saw this. Is this the first park hopper ever in TDR history?

I did a double take when I saw this. Is this the first park hopper ever in TDR history?

well yes and no.
Yes because there was this thing called multi day pass where the 3rd and 4th day you can do both parks. and Countdown tickets were inclusive of 2 park tickets.

No, Because its not being advertised as a regular option for day Guest

Honestly I don’t get the point of park hopper, the pricing is basically almost double ticket prices. It wouldn’t be worth it to me to deal with 2+ hour lines

How does this compare to US disney Parks?

How does this compare to US disney Parks?

US is up to $90 at most but generally is like $65 - 70. But the day tickets are like $150 now so it's not like it's basically the cost of another ticket

I guess if you have one day and want to experience both parks, it saves you a few Yen vs. just buying 2 tickets. But I don't see them selling many at this price.

also during summer season they sell a vacation package that has an all day ride all you can attraction by using the DPA lines or FP lanes.
